Colloquial Thursday - Fit as a Fiddle - 4.4

I was watching the US Open with your mom last night and John McEnroe used the term "Fit as a Fiddle."  I believe he was referring to Roger Federer. Thought you would want to know that the term did not originally refer to fitness, but rather to the strings on a violin (i.e. fiddle) being ready to play. Tomorrow is Fit as a Fiddle Friday,  and it definitely refers to fitness. I hope you can use this valuable information when making conversation this week.

Cheers,

Dad
